    Hi
    My '93 Plymouth Voyager 3.0L has a problem. The coolant recovery tank
    accepts the hot 'excess' antifreeze when needed, but as the radiator cools,
    no antifreeze returns to the radiator. No coolant is really lost, it just
    is replaced by air in the radiator neck. The radiator cap is new (the old
    one only kept 10 lbs pressure). The recovery tube is not plugged. The
    cooling system, when tested, drops pressure from 16 lbs to 12 lbs in a few
    minutes. No obvious coolant puddles under the van. Whta do you think is
    needing to be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Walt

    Try a new rad. cap. Failing that, have the coolling sytem tested for the
    prescence of combustion gas. It sounds like you may have a blown head
    gasket.
